would be the place to start looking for clues, the tail end of the journal for your previous boot - that is, if you're not using one of those non-systemd distros.
Hmm. This is what I get:
| @23:45:11 root@pinto | wd=~ | ● journalctl -b -1 -e | Specifying boot ID or boot offset has no effect, no persistent journal was found. | rc=0
So something isn't working right here.
David gave you an interpretation of the official method to configure persistent journal. I have found that if /var/log/journal/ exists, a persistent journal is enabled, unless /etc/systemd/journal* disables it.
